The sixth book in the Kay Scarpetta series, from No. 1 bestselling author
Patricia Cornwell.
'America's most chilling writer of crime fiction' The Times
Christmas had never been a particularly good time for Dr Kay Scarpetta.
Although a holiday for most, it always seem to heighten the alienation felt by
society's violent fringe; and that usually means more work for Scarpetta,
Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner. The body was naked, female and found
propped against a fountain in a bleak area of New York's Central Park. Her
apparent manner of death points to a modus operandi that is chillingly
familiar: the gunshot wound to the head, the sections of skin excised from the
body, the displayed corpse - all suggest that Temple Brooks Gault, Scarpetta's
nemesis, is back at work.
Calling on all her reserves of courage and skill, and the able assistance of
colleagues Marino and Wesley, Scarpetta must track this most dangerous of
killers in pursuit of survival as well as justice - heading inexorably to an
electrifying climax amid the dark, menacing labyrinths of the New York subway.
Praise for the groundbreaking series:
'One of the best crime writers writing today' Guardian
'Devilishly clever' Sunday Times
'The top gun in this field' Daily Telegraph
'Forget the pretenders. Cornwell reigns' Mirror
'The Agatha Christie of the DNA age' Express
